Activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has sparked a fresh wave of social media controversy by openly criticizing billionaire entrepreneur Obinna Iyiegbu, famously known as Obi Cubana. The critique follows a viral video showing Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, visiting the businessman’s residence to present him with an appointment letter.
The Viral Encounter
The video, which circulated widely on Instagram, captured the moment Seyi Tinubu arrived at Obi Cubana’s home for the formal presentation. While many viewed the meeting as a significant political and business alignment, VeryDarkMan offered a starkly different interpretation, describing the interaction as a blow to the billionaire’s public stature.
VDM’s Critique: “Embarrassing and Subordinate”
In his reaction, VeryDarkMan accused Obi Cubana of appearing “uneasy” and suggested that the mogul behaved more like a subordinate than a celebrated business leader.
- Lack of Stature: VDM expressed disappointment, remarking that he never expected a man of Obi Cubana’s caliber to partake in what he termed an “embarrassing” scenario.
- Cornered Impression: The activist claimed the billionaire gave the impression of being cornered into the meeting rather than engaging as an equal power broker.
Questioning Political Influence
VeryDarkMan went further to challenge Obi Cubana’s actual political clout, particularly within his own region.
- Grassroots Power: VDM dismissed the idea that the businessman holds significant political sway, claiming he lacks the grassroots influence required to move votes.
- The “Errand Runner” Label: In his most stinging remark, the activist dismissed the billionaire as an “errand runner” rather than a true power broker in Nigeria’s political landscape.
A Reflective Public Debate
The critique has ignited intense debate online, highlighting growing public scrutiny of Nigeria’s elite. While some social media users defended Obi Cubana’s right to engage with the presidency’s representatives, others echoed VDM’s sentiments, questioning the nature of influence and power in the current political climate.
Summary of the Controversy:
- Key Figures: VeryDarkMan (Activist), Obi Cubana (Billionaire), and Seyi Tinubu.
- The Incident: Seyi Tinubu’s visit to present an appointment letter to Obi Cubana.
- Core Allegation: That high-profile business figures are compromising their stature for political proximity.
